Not so

The fact that we have the medical ability to do a thing in a humane manner does not assume that we WILL do a thing in a humane OR inhumane manner.

Last I checked, we don't have an allowance for humane euthanasia or Kevorkian would never have found himself in the legal hot water he did. We don't have a widespread acceptance for abortion or doctors that choose to enable this wouldn't be firebombed.

Generalities are always shaky ground on which to place one's facts solidly. A thing CAN be done. Doesn't mean that it WILL be done or SHOULD be done. Capability is nothing. The secondary moral questions pertain.
